supreme court which we modeled our law after the indiana law. ultimately i don't believe there would have been any disenfranchised voters to the polls this november. it was a straw man argument used by the left to try and stop the i.d., to try to maintain status co- to ultimately protect the forces of corruption. we've seen acorn filing fictitious registrations in 20. we've had prosecutions in pennsylvania for election fraud. ultimately i believe that this law will stand. it's going to be the will of the people, the majority of pennsylvanians want to make sure that this policy is in place to protect every legally cast vote to ensure the forces of corruption do not have their way with undermining the will of the people. >> suarez: is it still unclear though where this is all going to end up? given the court setbacks in ohio, in various other states where they've tried to limit the days of early voting, raise the threshold for identification when you come to the polls, various rule changes in advance of this november 6? >> i think we're expecting

>> there are a couple states-- notably florida and ohio-- that have enacted laws now. in ohio we have uncertainty because we don't know the outcome of an appeal to a lower court decision which overturned that law in ohio. if florida we have more clarity because a federal court has now cleared the pathway for a restriction of early voting the weekend prior to election. and the best statistics that we have on this is at least in 2008 that was a time when african americans predominantly voted. so you might think that there might be some potential challenge, then, to the obama campaign and certainly there is one. but i also feel that the obama campaign has the resources to meet that challenge. so i expect the obama campaign to encourage their supporters to vote by mail, vote at the other times of early voting that are offered instead of that one weekend and so who knows? who knows what the eventual effect of early voting will be, that restriction in florida. >> ifill: michael mcdonald of george mason, university, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> woodruff: and we return

weak states, that's just inevitable, it will take time to build up democratic institutions, rule of law, even civilian control of the military or, in the case of libya, a bunch of militias that join together to overthrow qaddafi but don't necessarily form yet a working security service. so i think what she was emphasizing very strongly yesterday is that radical islamic groups, whether it's al qaeda or other types of groups that you've seen in libya and other places are looking to create instability. they're challenging the transition towards a democratic government. and that's the thing she was really highlighting yesterday. >> brown: and daniel byman, of course, the other thing at this meeting at the "sun" there's much talk now able possible international military intervention, u.n. sanction in parts of this area, not in libya but in other parts, in mali specifically. >> there's a real concern we're seeing a snowball affect. that limited instability in libya and elsewhere is becoming a much bigger regional problem over time. mali has become awash in arms. parts of it have been taken ov
